ACADEMIA – U.S. academia is part of
the U.S. war industry. Faculty and staff often justify this flagrant ethical

sensors, “thereby significantly improving strike force air and missile defense
capabilities by coordinating measurement data from strike force air search
sensors on CEC-equipped units into a single, integrated real-time, composite
track air picture. CEC improves battle force effectiveness by improving overall
situational awareness and by enabling longer range, cooperative, multiple, or

DEFENSE AGENCY (MDA) – After intense lobbying by the
U.S. war industry, the D.C. regime pulled out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile
Treaty in 2002. This paved the way for the establishment of the Missile Defense

lucrative sectors of the U.S. war industry.
